Attack of the Bambinos - Bars and Melody

Chapter Nine

Leo's P.O.V

I feel so bad for what I did, it was just a joke. I didn't mean for it to go this far. I need a plan. Hmmm. I've got it...

~The next day~

Step one: Talk to Mrs. Grey

I knocked on Mrs. Grey's classroom door.

"Come in," I slowly walk into her class room to see her sitting at her desk,

"Oh hi, Leondre, what can I do for you?"

"I want to tell you the truth of what really happened with Charlie's homework."

"Did he tell you to say this?"

"No, he doesn't know I am here."

"Okay, carry on."

"Charlie didn't write those things, I did." She stared at me, a frown forming on her face."It was just a joke. I didn't mean for it to go this far, he has left Bars and Melody, he won't talk to me, he doesn't deserve this I have his actual homework here and I will have as many detentions as you want just please don't blame Charlie, it was all my fault," I continue, passing her the pages from his homework book.

"Thank you for your honesty, Leondre, I will let Charlie off because it isn't his fault and you will have his eleven and an extra four. I understand it was a joke but that was completely unacceptable."

"Thank you, miss," I say relieved it is over. Well, not really. I still have fifteen detentions.

"For what, you have fifteen detentions?"

"For letting Charlie off"

"That's okay. You are a good friend Leo; even if Charlie can't see that right now I am sure he will soon and I hope you two get back together. My little cousin is a big fan," she smiled at me.

"Me too," I smiled back and walked out shutting the door behind me.

Step two: Apologize.

"Mrs Lenehan, I need to talk to Charlie," I say, knocking on the door. She finally comes up and opens it, raising her eyebrows.

"He doesn't want to talk to you. I hope you realize that your mother is going to have to speak to Blair," she replies.

"I know, it's just, I'm really sorry. I spoke to Mrs Grey and she's letting him off, just please please please let me speak to him," I beg.

"Fine. Go in," she sighs, opening the door further so I can go in. I race upstairs and hear Charlie on the phone.

"No, babe. No, of course I will. I understand that. I love you," I hear him says. I burst in the door.

"Leo? What the?" He exclaimed, hanging up hurriedly.

"I came to apologize, but who was that?" I ask.

"Um..it was Tegan," Charlie says quietly.

"Tegan?" I ask.

"xxx bambino xxx," he told me.

"Charlie, if this is a joke..." I say, worried now.

"I thought you came to apologize?" He said impatiently.

"I'm sorry."

"What for? Writing really embarrassing stuff for my homework, putting the video of me getting humiliated on YouTube, and then inventing a fictional girlfriend who everyone hates?"

I look down, blushing.

"It was nothing," Charlie says sarcastically. He doesn't sound like himself any more.
